Evening Session : March 18-23 6:45-10:15 PM(Contents are the same for both Sessions. Followed by a weekly meeting for 22 weeks for 2 hours)

Can you say “Yes!” to these three critical questions? 1) Are you experiencing your union with Christ in relationship to the Father?2) Are you experiencing the Father’s affection and responding with delight?3) Are you sensing the fruit of the Spirit in your life as you relate to the Father through Christ?The point of Christianity is not knowing information about God, but having a relationship with God. Learn how to integrate His truth from the head to the heart so that you can have these three life-changing experiences.Learn how to integrate critical biblical truth (Trinitarian Spirituality) into your instincts and emotions and as a result, into your family life and relationships. First we will explore how the Fall, culture, and family background has influenced your perspectives, emotions, and instincts. As you learn what those effects are, you will begin to understand and experience how to transition from that background into an emotionally healthy participation in God’s new family, the Body of Christ.

JUNE 28, 2018

HEAD TO HEART SEMINAR: SESSION 19 SIN & FORGIVENESS

Logos Baptist Church 1347 Richardson Avenue Los Altos, CA

June 28 @ 7:30-9pm

Cost: FREE, REGISTRATION REQUIRED

We will explore three false beliefs that a person can "buy into" when they are spiraling into sin. When we fail to resolve past hurts by forgiving people who have wrongly hurt us, it causes us serious spiritual and psychological problems. True forgiveness has a deeply profound effect upon the forgiver, turning an internal atmosphere of anger and resentment to one of peace and joy.

Four negative ineffective communication patterns appear again and again, in our lives and in Genesis 3: blaming, placating, rationalizing, and distracting. Each of these patterns is a response to powerful emotions within, and under stress and during conflict we are especially likely to resort to one of these patterns. Healthy communication includes getting below the surface, to be able to describe what is going on inside of oneself and to learn to listen sympathetically to the other person. We describe two techniques to help improve communication: weather reports and weather radar reporting.

HEAD TO HEART SEMINAR: SESSION 16 PAIN & OUR RESPONSES TO IT

Logos Baptist Church 1347 Richardson Avenue Los Altos, CA

MAY 24 @ 7:30-9pm

Cost: FREE, REGISTRATION REQUIRED

The ability to feel pain was originally a blessing, and God still uses pain to signal to us that we need to address issues in our lives and relationships. However, we often take good gifts of God and misuse them as coping mechanisms, which may develop into addictions, that help to bury the pain and find some pleasure.

MAY 17, 2018

HEAD TO HEART SEMINAR: SESSION 14 EMOTIONS

Logos Baptist Church 1347 Richardson Avenue Los Altos, CA

MAY 17@ 7:30-9pm

Cost: FREE, REGISTRATION REQUIRED

The point of Christianity is not knowing information about God, but a relationship with God and an integration of his truth so that we have the emotions of God. At the root of our emotions are our instinctive beliefs, our real operating belief system. So our negative emotions provide indicators of the false instinctive beliefs that we are still holding on to.

MARCH 29, 2018

HEAD TO HEART SEMINAR: SPIRITUAL DNA & THE FALL

Thursday, March 29, 2018 7:30-9:00pm

LORD'S GRACE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

1101 San Antonio Rd. Mountain View, CA 94043

For God's truths to become our own instinctive beliefs, we need to feel and experience these truths at a heart level. Although we are not usually taught the importance of our imagination for spiritual growth, it is God's intent that we use our imagination to picture ourselves in the truths of Scripture. We will begin the process of identifying our false instinctive beliefs by looking at the impact of the Fall. Adam and Eve's rebellion against God created mutations within humanity's "spiritual DNA," with the foundational mutation being that we doubt God.

KILLER INSTINCTS: Forge an alliance with God the Father and kill the Instincts that wage war within.

A Survey of What the New Testament Teaches about False Instincts

We exist in an evangelical culture emphasizing what we know and what we should do. In the New Testament true heart change or repentance is much more than that. It is a profound change of the very instincts of our hearts. We will survey the New Testament to show how important this topic is, and how they are to be changed.

Dr. David Eckman to speak at CCLUC Singles Retreat: November 10-12, 2017

Chinese Christian Love and Unity Club, CCLUC, is an inter-church nonprofit organization that helps churches to serve the singles community by gathering the best resources in God's kingdom, to provide a wholesome platform for single Christians and seekers to connect.

Christ & Culture: The Bible and Psychology

On Sunday, August 14, 2016, Dr. Eckman had the opportunity to minister at Central Peninsula Church in Foster City to a multi-ethnic and technology savvy congregation on the topic of the Bible and Psychology. You can watch the video of his sermon below.

Dr. Eckman has known Todd Connor for the past 30 years and has been his pastor and teacher. Todd's story is a remarkable demonstration of the reparenting ability of God the Father in a person's life. The book, Liz Here Now, shows both God's provision in a horrible situation as well as His remarkable ability to bring emotional health.

Based on a 1960’s true story, the book charts the journey of Liz, the black maid hired by Dr. Frank and Jane Connor. It’s where “Mad Men” meets “The Help”.

Dr. Frank Connor was the most prominent physician in town. His wife, Jane bore a striking resemblance to the movie star, Jane Russell. Like “Mad Men”, the Connor’s walked and talked the American Dream.

Like “The Help”, Liz falls in love with the Connor’s three small children. She calls them her own “little white babies”.

Soon, however, Liz discovers the family’s secret. Jane Connor’s psychotic breaks were increasing in frequency and violence. The children were the target. Liz confronts Dr. Connor who refuses to tarnish his reputation with the exposure of child abuse and mental illness.

Liz must journey, alone.

Despite her husband’s warnings that no one would believe a “Poor Black maid over that rich white doctor and his Mizzuz”, Liz navigates past the landmines of money, power, and bigotry to ultimately save her “little white babies”. The narrator is Todd Connor, the youngest child. At Liz’s funeral, he reveals the truth about the Connor children’s passage to safety, culminating in the most comforting words they would ever know; “Liz Here Now”.
